AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF GENETIC INFORMATION: LEPTIN GENOTYPING IN FED CATTLE [PDF]
The use of genetic knowledge is widespread in crop production but is just recently being utilized in livestock production. This study investigates the economic value to feedlots of a polymorphism in the bovine leptin gene.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Assessing the accuracy of field‐based versus laboratory methods for determining the age of roe deer
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Accurate age determination in roe deer Capreolus capreolus is essential for selective harvesting and informed population management, yet field‐based methods widely used by hunters remain imprecise. This study compared field‐based and laboratory age determination methods in 204 harvested roe deer, categorized by sex and habitat type (forest versus open ...

Conventional and deep-litter pig production systems: the effects on fat deposition and distribution in growing female large white X landrace pigs [PDF]
, 2008 Minimising variability in carcass quality to better meet market specifications is a priority for Australian pig producers, however issues with variability in carcass fat distribution have recently been raised, particularly in the belly primal.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.This study investigates the breeding success of the critically endangered White‐rumped Vulture in Khaireni Community Forest, and examines local knowledge and perceptions toward its conservation. We found that 71% of active nests were successful, with breeding success significantly influenced by the proximity to carcass deposition sites.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Most current terrestrial biogeochemical models formalize biogeochemical cycling as predominantly controlled by processes involving plants and soil microbes. However, growing evidence indicates that above‐ground animals could exert controlling feedback effects that alter
